The Moroccan international spent last season on loan at Loftus Road and has now put pen to paper on a three-year deal with the npower Championship side.

Taarabt, 21, was hailed as the "new Zinedine Zidane" when he arrived at White Hart Lane from Lens for Â£3million in 2007, but he made just nine appearances for Spurs - who are taking a significant loss on the midfielder Harry Redknapp once described as "frightening".
